I have some questions/suggestions for you;

Do you plan to add other biter-type items? For example, an organic wall, an organic weapon with organic ammo(like the spitter)?

The Hive Controller item isn't craftable, you'd need to make it spawn in the player's inventory at some point, probably when they complete the research.

game.onevent(defines.events.onresearchfinished , function(event)
 
		if research.name == alien research whatever then
		game.player.insert(name ="biter-copyright-notice", count = 1)
		
		end

Only the on/off is craftable, the item itself isn't.

Take another look through my PvP mod.

We "fixed" it, but we really don't know what we're doing so take it with a grain of salt. The issue is in control.lua which references game.player

Code: Select all

game.onload(function()
	if glob.evolution == nil then
		glob.evolution = {}
	end
	if game.player.force.technologies["Hive-mind"].researched then
		game.player.force.recipes["attractor-on2"].enabled = true
	end
end)

Code: Select all

game.onload(function()
	if glob.evolution == nil then
		glob.evolution = {}
	end
    for i = 1, #game.players, 1 do
        if game.players[i].force.technologies["Hive-mind"].researched then
           game.players[i].force.recipes["attractor-on2"].enabled = true
        end
    end
end)

It now lets us save and doesn't cause an error, but we could've broken something about the mod for all we know.

Sorry buddy ore does only spawn on generation of a new map Its with most mods I assume

orzelek wrote:I think that by calling entity regeneration on ore you should be able to spawn it after adding mod to save.

game.regenerateentity("alien-artifacts")

for i, player in ipairs(game.players) do
  player.print("Added alien-artifacts to the map.")
end
